About this episode

Darryl Strawberry pulled up to All The Smoke for a powerful sit-down. The 8x All-Star and 4x World Series champion opened up about his recent heart attack, growing up in South Central LA, and why he chose baseball over basketball after a standout run at Crenshaw High. He reflected on his smooth swing, life in the 80’s MLB, and unforgettable moments with Doc Gooden, Keith Hernandez, Lawrence Taylor, and Mike Tyson. Strawberry also kept it real on Mets vs. Yankees fans, his regret over joining the Dodgers, battling substance abuse during his career, and the recent controversy around Pete Alonso breaking his Mets home run record.
